Cluster Week 2013

During the week of May 28-31, The Sage School will celebrate one of its most anticipated annual traditions called Cluster Week. This week is filled with special elective classes for students in the school’s Prime and Junior Divisions (grades K-5) such as “Pantomime,” “Cryptozoology,” “Once Upon a Sage,” “The Illustrated Mind,” “So You Want to be a Teacher,” “Optical Illusion & the Art of Perception Deception,” and “Trail Magic.”

Based on Joseph Renzulli’s Triad Model of learning for gifted students, these week-long elective courses are designed by faculty and parents to provide opportunities for in-depth, highly focused, project-oriented study. Each student will participate in two cluster courses that will meet every day—one in the morning, the other after lunch. At the end of the week, students gather to share highlights of their cluster experiences and present their work to one another.
